Bird City Democrat: Last week a
party Of homesteaders had quite a
thrilling buffalo hunt in the western
part of the county. One of their num-
Der discovered four bulls and cow
buffalo galloping across the prairie,
with a party Of cowboys three or four
miles in the rear He notified his
neighbors and a'party was soon in pur-
suit, armed with revolvers and one

ed about thirty miles, soeing run from
from Cheyenne into Sherman county.
The game was finally overtaken and q
general fusilade commenced. One
man rode up. alongside bull and pull
ed out his revolver with the intention
of shooting the animal through the
shoulder. As he pulled the trigger
his horse threw his head to one side
and the bullet passed down into the
steed's brain. Another ofthe nimrods
was pushing gentleman buffalo across
the prairie at wild gallop, when the
erraged animal turned suddenly and
disembowled the horse. The rider es-
capped and the buffalo was killed Out
of the herd the cow was the only one
which escaped, and she has probably
replenished the larder of some home
steader long before this. The buffalo
are about killed Oft, and buffalo hunt
is a rarity here, where once they black

DIR. Tal,nar. and Evolution.

EDiToR CRITIC; Tuesday evening ] at
tended DR.. Talmage's lecture demolishing
evolution. will not deny that 1t was a
success; yet 1t seems to me 1t might have
been strengthened in several particulars.
He showed up the absurdity Of the doctrine
Of the survival OF the tlttest by directing at
tention to the fact that many of the brave
soldiers In the last war perlshed on the bat
tlefeld, while their cowardly neighbors at
home lived on. Another fact, drawn from
the same source, might have equally Illus
trated another fallacy of the evolutlonsts-
TO wit, that accidental varieties are liable to
be perpetrated through hereditary descent
for while thousands OF soldiers came home
from the war with but one leg, who has seen
any symptoms of q generation OF one legged
ChlldrenY Again, evolutionists teach that
food has a great deal to do with the charac-
terls'ics Of an animal and Its posterity; yet
who has ever succeeded, in so much as
single instance, by feeding hen hot
mixtures In getting her to lay boiled eggs
] might 90 farther, but this will be sufficient
to show that there are far stronger proofs
Of the folly of the evolution theory than any
that were produced by Mr.. Talmage.
